Below are some verses from the Writings of Baha’u’llah followed by some Bible verses that I believe are saying essentially the same thing about being detached from the world.
“It behoveth the people of Bahá to die to the world and all that is therein, to be so detached from all earthly things...
Man has two natures, a higher spiritual nature and a lower material nature. Those forces are man's lower material nature, the evil ego within that he always has to fight against. It is not an evil entity outside of man. In the following verse, Jesus was taking to His lower material nature...
According to the scriptures, Peter is not Satan and Paul is not his false prophet. The word "Satan" in the Hebrew and Greek, literally means adversary or "opponent or one who opposes us" or "accuser" (Σατανᾶς, ᾶ, ὁ; from שָׂטָן ). Its application is normally applied to the the devil (Lucifer) but...
It was Yeshua who called Peter "Satan and a stumbling block to me" (Matthew16:23). It was Yeshua who fed Judas Iscariot the "devil" in fulfilment of Zechariah 11:12-13, as quoted in Matthew 27:9-10, which is just prior to the prophecy with regards to Peter in Zechariah 11:14-17. The...
So you believe Peter is Satan and Paul is his false prophet? Well you are unique. I have never heard that one before. You are twisting scripture. I do agree however that the test to know if someone is from God or not from God is if they believe and obey what Gods Word says. However, your view on...
According to Yeshua in Matthew16:23, Peter is "Satan, and a stumbling block to me". Matthew 7:13-23 describes the false prophets with the description of Paul, who you claim to speak for God, and yet he called on the name of the Lord, did miracles, cast out demons, yet "I will declare to them...
As posted earlier, Paul is not a false prophet. I believe all scriptures is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It is only those people who misinterpret His writings that Peter says about Paul's writings that many are hard to understand and twist to their own destruction seeking to justify their...
You have several misapprehensions. The false prophet Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16, is talking about the holy writings he has read from his youth, which would not include his spurious notes, which are included in the erroneously dubbed "holy" canon", put together by the bishop of Alexandria in 367...
You would have to inform me of what "group" you are talking about. If she follows the false prophet Paul, and stumbles (Matthew16:23) behind the "worthless shepherd" Peter, then I would think there is a separation between us.
What is your point? Yeshua is the living bread, the Word made flesh, who has the "words of eternal life" (John 6:48-51 & 68-71) whom would choose "the twelve and yet one of you is a devil", with regards to Judas, and yet he also chose one who was "Satan, and a stumbling block to me", in the...
Trailblazer, you are closer to truth than most people I have heard from in this forum.
However, you have some errors in your belief.
There is no such place as “HELL”. It is only metaphorical in that the soul is ‘absent from the presence of God’. It is LIKE being in darkness - it is LIKE being...
Matthew16:23-26 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross...
1 Timothy 6:16 "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen."
The verse implies that there is only one God, but God is not a person, God is a Being.
Obviously, this verse...
Jesus was a lot simpler in giving points. It almost sounds so religious that even Jesus would have a problem with your statements as he did with those who were too religious in his time! IMO
You have two basic problems with your analysis, the first being Peter is probably not the writer of 2 Peters, and Peter was deemed "Satan", and a "stumbling block to me" per Yeshua in Matthew16:23, chosen by the "LORD" in Zechariah 11, by his right arm, Yeshua, to choose Peter, the "worthless...
Yes, but the Bible does not seem to think that embryos and fetuses count as people. Why do you keep ignoring the verses that show otherwise?
And sorry, but what on Earth do you mean by "Progressives that groom children"? What? Give them haircuts? Cut their fingernails? Is that a bad...
The Scriptures are anti killing (6th Commandment), and especially of children. The sacrificing/killing of children was one of many sins that led Israel into destruction and slavery by Assyria. Even leading children down the wrong path, as in providing stumbling blocks for them, is so bad, that...
